Fly Who !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello.
Has anyone who attended a FLYWHO interview day, heard anything yet ?.
They advised us that we would know on 12th Feb - " 3 WEEKS" after the initial interview. Its Now 4 weeks and STILL nothing
.
I was really impressed with them at the interview, however this wait is a little annoying.
Thanks.

hi guys
I don't want to put a damper on things, but if you do a search on flywho or flyblu, there are a lot of comments on here that will tell you a bit more about this so called company
Good luck
Mike

Hi Mike.
Thanks for the reply...
I have noticed that you have made a few posts re this airline - I too applied for a job with them last year however i stuck it out and they kept in contact with me throughought. I have to say FLYWHO are very very helpful and I really hope they succeed as I would love to fly with them - the interview day was great, hard but great.
However as in my earlier post I am just a little disappointed that they have not replied when they said they would.
I already have a job with an airline but I feel that FLYWHO are on to a winner here and they have a fabulous product.

Interview and response
Have to say I am a little confused. I know at least one person who was being interviewed on Feb 12th along with a dozen others so I cant imagine that the company would really have told people they would 'be in touch' before they had finished seeing everyone.
Are you certain they told you you would hear by the 12th??? Seems odd if they were still looking, that's all, and as the few posts on here seem impressed once they met the flywho people, I dont know why they would be impressive AND stupid at the same time. Not that it's impossbile, just unlikely!
Maybe a little wrong info going round here???
Stay cool. If they do it, they do it, if they dont, they gave it a darn good shot!!!

Well just to let you know I called them this week to find out when they would be letting people know the outcome of the interviews and I was told letters will be sent out the end of this month. She did also say that the they had only just finished interviewing, but that wasn't for crew I dont think, perhaps ground, office personel.
Will post a reply as soon as I hear anything

So how did the interview's go out of interest? Was is the usual group stuff or was it something different? After all the fiasco with last years recruitment at flyblu I just wondered if they managed to make a professional job of it this time? Was that girl from Now Airlines still doing the recruitment does anyone know?

Hi 330.
It was a grat day and FLYWHO are extremely friendly and professional - they made us all feel very very welcome.
We all met and then escorted to a room to have our passport and photos checked then taken to another room. we were met by the Directors and they are great upbeat approachable and determined.
We had to introduce ourselves then we had a talk from some of the senior guys about FLYWHO and they thanked us for been supportive over the last year as many of us had applied last year.
We did group exercises then had a break. they even provided tea and coffee !! -. then candidates were asked to go out and they did not get through. We then had the hardest test I have ever had lol lol lol it really pushed you to the limits ( well me and the other guys on the day !! ) everyone said how hard it was.
We then had lunch and then went back in for our 2 on 1 interview. this was great as well really friendly and they asked lots of questions and I really enjoyed it.
After that it was time to go home - and What I think was fantastic was that they gave us all gifts ( FLYWHO merchandise ) and they said thank you for coming and that was that. I thought this was a great gesture. I would love to work for FLYWHO if I get through. Its been a long haul ( excuse the punn ) but I think they have a fantastic product and they will get the best crew I have no doubt here.
SO I say go go go FLYWHO !!

Iconic well done for getting the job, but just be cautious is my advice. Until the aircraft is sitting on the ramp, nothing is set in concrete, and even then, it's still doubtful potentially.

Well I cant be certain but I am pretty sure the woman who interviewed me with the ops guy is the Cabin Crew Manager. She seems like a really nice lady.
I know caution should be aired and air it I will, having said that sometimes you have to take risks in life, calculated at the very least. I still believe the flywho product is viable, bookings have been strong according to the management team and I was impressed to say the least at what they had to say during the days interviewing.
Even if it goes under after twelve months I wont mind too much, for me it is time to move on and flywho would work well for me at the moment. A freind of minewho also applied found out yesterday she was unsuccessful so looks like I ight be flying solo at the minute

Hi Guys....
I am also joining FLYWHO and I am over the moon... it was well worth the wait now.
I agree with Ionic - we have to take risks in life and this is an opportunity to good to miss - I remember when Virgin started flying and no one beleived Richard Branson and he proved the whole airline industry wrong.
I am so excited
ps - Ionic Read Your PM's

teamilk: thats nothing new re salaries. the people behind this venture seem to think that everyone will work for the love of it!
Lets take a moment and look at the history of this shambles shall we?
They've been trying to get off the ground now for so long we've all lost interest and probably don't believe a word they say. they still have no licence (maybe no money either judging by this fact) and nothing more than a cheap rented office in some dodgy part of Birmingham.
I know of someone who used to work there and found it complete chaos. none of the owners/managers have any airline experience and so have hired experienced industry bods in to provide this on a hourly rate. they have no expereinced core staff and apparently have even been politely declined by certain companies (eg. training) who don't want to be associated with them. apparently, my source tells me everything is outsourced, or bought on the cheap (even from the local markets!).
Last year they made job cuts in the pre-launch management team. not good for an airline that hasn't even made its first flight!
I think we can sum this whole thing up now,,,,
BE VERY CAUTIOUS before giving up a good job to be made promises by these guys!

Transat and Teachin
What planet are you on ???
And WHERE IN THE WORLD did you get your info from ????
Market stalls my eye !!!!
The only thing I can think of is that the uniform hasn't been designed by some major designer like BA or VS but has been chosen by realstic people within the company. Its very nice by the way !!!!!!!!
I have been for the interview got a position and I am very proud of that. Yes things have been slow and yes they have had some teething problems, HOWEVER I can not praise the management team high enough they have kept in touch with us all, all the way through and been 100% honest about whats going on and what future plans are etc etc... I will not divulge these on here as they are no bodies business apart from FlyWho themselves.
Salaries WERE DEFFO discussed at the interview and are very competitive.
Management were totally honest and answered all of our questions in full, and beleive me there were a lot of questions.
I do have a full time job which I also love however its time to move on and try something new and life is a big adventure we only live once so what's the point in playing safe all of the time?. Take a risk I say and if it doesnt work out then move on and put it down to experience.
It seems to me, that you may have been rejected or had some kind of knock back by FW, I mean why else would you be so vicious and negative about a start up airline??....
I for one am proud to have been chosen to fly with them and I know others I have spoken to feel the same.
Its a new company so give them a chance and yes, no doubt there will be changes along the way but what a new company needs is up beat, supportive and great staff at the begining and indeed the whole way through - From what I have read on these threads I am so very pleased that I wont be flying with either of you !!! .
